AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides compositions, methods, and systems for improving the lives of fishes by addressing stress, starvation, and other concerns associated with aquaculture. These compositions serve as probiotic and prebiotic agents, providing better living conditions for fishes and reducing the need for frequent water replacements and transportation. The products can be customized for different types of fishes and can be produced on-site at aquaculture farms or in other locations along the distribution chain. Overall, the invention improves the well-being and compatibility of fishes, leading to better outcomes for fish farms and their consumers.

Problems solved by technology

But the technologies available currently do not get down mortalities close to 0% or get the various parameters of water—nitrates, nitrites and ammonia close to 0 ppm and maintain at that level.
However, accurate trade data about the industry is difficult to obtain as statistics vary from different countries in terms of data collected, format and reliability.

example 1

[0058] Using the composition(s), method(s), system(s), the mortalities of fishes were found close to 0%: Death On Arrival (DOA), Death After Arrival (DAA), Death After 7 days Of Arrival (DA7) were maintained close to 0%. Also, the mortalities were maintained close to 0% in the bowl where the fishes were subjected to stressful conditions. Close to 0% mortality could be maintained throughout the distribution chain of aquaculture industry:

Some of the representative fishes for the study were Veiltail Angel fishes, Koi, Goldfish, Molly, Cat fishes. They were packaged with water far lesser in amount than the one prescribed in the protocols. The amount of water used for containing 4-5 fishes of Molly, 2 of Goldfishes, 4 of Veiltail Angel fishes, 2 of Koi were 600 ml-1000 ml. Catfish was placed in a bigger container with about 3 litres of water. The fishes could survive the stressful conditions, when the composition(s) were used.

The stressful conditions mainly were: not changing water for 9...

example 2

[0059] Composition(s), method(s), system(s) eliminates stress and starvation associated with the fishes: The fishes were placed in a bowl with water close to 600 ml-1 litre, two fishes per bowl, water not changed for 9 days, aerations stopped for hours and fish feed in minor amounts, feed twice a day and sometimes once a day. The composition(s) were added to these bowls. There were controls for the experiment. Koi fishes are representative examples and the invention is applicable for all fishes.

One indicator of stress levels could be the Blood lactate levels. Koi fishes were treated with different composition(s) and there were controls. Only the Koi fishes treated with these composition(s) survived and their blood lactate levels (one of the indicators of stress) was estimated to be at 0.2 mmol / L. Certain composition(s) in certain proportions were best suited for this stressful condition. For example, for Koi fishes, the composition(s) with bacterial proportions of (2:1:1), (2:0.8:0....

example 3

[0060] The composition(s), method(s), system(s) reduce nitrates, nitrites and ammonia build-up and maintain at low ppm, close to 0 ppm. This enables usage of lesser amount of water during transportation and water needs to be replaced with lesser frequency.

Th nitrates, nitrites and ammonia levels in water are got down to low levels, close to 0 ppm and maintained at that level. This involves usage of the composition(s), system(s) and method(s). The system could comprise of materials like lava rocks which is porous. The composition(s) could be added to this rock and then placed into the aquarium. In the case of Fish Only Tanks, the system could be varied. For example, a spherical container with perforations, inside which densely packed rocks are placed (rock is an example) and the composition(s) is added to these containers. For farms, the composition(s) could be integrated into the Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS) to improve the water quality, by reducing nitrates, nitrites and ...

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to compositions, methods, systems to address stress, starvation, improved health, water quality, productivity and life expectancy of fishes; for both Ornamental fishes and Edible fishes. They enable close to 0% mortalities during transportation and throughout the distribution chain of the Aquaculture industry. The product serves as probiotic, prebiotic, improves water quality due to which lesser than prescribed amount of water can be used and water is changed with lesser frequency. Proportions and components of the compositions, the methods and systems could be varied and customised. The composition(s) comprise of bacteria with Accession Numbers: MCC0148, MCC0149, MCC0150. There are other probiotic bacteria which could be used in the composition(s) in a prescribed manner. The applications are throughout the distribution chain of Aquaculture industry and production unit of the product could be made an integral setup of farms, aquariums, warehouses.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure generally relates to compositions, methods, systems to address stress, starvation, improved health, improved water quality, productivity and life expectancy of fishes; includes both Ornamental fishes and Edible fishes. The product addresses the concerns associated with Aquaculture industry, giving better living conditions for the fishes and eliminates the kind of stress, starvations which could be encountered throughout the distribution chain of the Aquaculture industry. The product serves as probiotic, prebiotic, cleanses the water. Also, with this product the water used at aquariums needs to be replaced with lesser frequency and amount of water used for transportation could be lesser than the currently prescribed amounts in the protocols. The compositions, methods, systems enable disease control, improvement of digestion, improvement in immune system, improvement in color, more compatible with other fishes, compositions could serve sourc...
